This plugin is a TANGO adaptation of the 3D Fast Filters plugin for ImageJ. It performs 3D filtering in a multithreaded way (use of multiple CPUs) and allows different radii in XY direction and Z. The different available filters are :

• Mean, the average value in the neighborhood.
• Median, the median value in the neighborhood.
• Minimum, the minimum value in the neighborhood, can be used as a erosion for morphological filtering with white objects.
• Maximum, the maximum value in the neighborhood, can be used as a dilatation for morphological filtering (with white objects).
• Local maxima, detects the pixels that are maxima in the neighborhood, can be used as seeds for segmentation.
• TopHat, performs a tophat filtering TH=image-opened(image), permits to detect bright spots by suppressing local background.
• Variance, the variance value in the neighborhood, can be used as edge detection.
• Sobel, a edge detection filter.
• Adaptive filtering, a 3D version of Nagao filter. 6 areas are defined (left, right, up, down, front, back), takes the mean of the area that has the smallest variation.
